The listing with VRBO is very misleading. "South Padre Island Ocean Front Condo-Cute as a button". So is the picture of the oceanfront view from the balcony. It is a "side" unit as stated in the description (at least the balcony is on the side), the "unit" faces the street. The balcony is set back into the side of the building and gets absolutely no breeze. 2 pics posting, the second pic is standing at the front edge of the rail on the balcony."Cute as a button", I guess it might have been "cute" 35 years ago.The pool area has lounge chairs but no view of the beach as the wrought iron fences are covered with a black material. It hasn't been updated as far as the furnishings since?? I'm guessing the 70's, that's okay, but the bed and the futon are atrociously uncomfortable. There are 2 plastic chairs in the unit you can sit up straight in, but nowhere that would be comfortable to play cards, no table that is "waist high". There are a few plastic cups to drink out of, but no glassware (ex., no wine glasses or any other). The oven is electric and the cooktop of it has the old electric coils. I fried bacon in an old frying pan that was probably my age (old). On a positive note, the location is good, it is quiet (with the exception of the window air conditioning that is constantly roaring on or off to regulate the temperature), and the owner gives explicit instructions with easy access.I should have realized with the "price" for South Padre, you get what you pay for.
